‘Richard Blanshard is not just a photographer ... his series of photographs of the most iconic film-makers, movie stars and personalities is a real chronicle of the Cannes Film Festival. These photos document the changing times and landscape of the Festival. His portrait of Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly is a classic ... one of many!’ -- Sandy Lieberson, producer and former Head of Production 20th Century Fox ‘I’ve admired Richard’s work as a photographer, not only on my film sets as a unit photographer and on special projects, but also for his general commitment to cinema and recording it in photography and visual imagery. Richard’s eye and cameras have been turned many times on celebrities and the atmosphere of Cannes, and the photographs are always a great reflection as you will see in this book.’ -- Jeremy Thomas, producer and chairman of Recorded Picture Company
